A night in the park

Every year our local park gets all decorated up with a beautiful lights display. Each year, they also take a night & close it off to car traffic for a family walk-through night. They collect non-perishable foods, have cookies & hot cocoa and even have an appearance from Santa & Mrs. Clause. We decided to take the boys this year. The night was cool but nice.

We bundled the boys up & packed them into their stroller with blankets & hand warmers to keep them warm. They really enjoyed stopping in for cookies & hot cocoa. We were lucky enough to time it right & met Santa right outside the goodies building. He gave them each a candy cane & posed for a quick picture. (That’s as close as we’re getting to Santa this year, besides also waving to him quickly at a local mall. My kids are anti-strangers right now and I’m not into pushing them into something at all.)

We had a fun stroll through the park & warmed up by going out to dinner, as a fun treat, afterwards.

We want to make it back, driving through the park one more time yet this season!

Taking in the pretty lights.

Munching on cookies!

Not so sure - getting candy canes from Santa.

Santa & the boys - Colton's keeping his eye on him!
